A struggling street food vendor accepts help from a blissful elderly lady with a sensational recipe up her sleeve, in Naomi Kawase's (Still The Water) bittersweet drama of culinary redemption.
Mark, our Cinema Curator says:
"If you enjoy the underlying warmth and humanity of Hirokazu Kore-eda films then I recommend Naomi Kawase’s heart-warming Sweet Bean. It is an uplifting portrait of an intergenerational relationship and the quest for perfect sweat bean paste which reminds us especially in these fractured times that food is not simply a function of eating but can connect us with our wider community and culture"
